Has Messi's performance strengthened his GOAT argument?
lalas transform from a hater to a fan . lets see how this end up
Messi 6 contributions, 8 amazing goals in one hellofa match.
Ok lets move on.. 0-0 not bad result considering bla bla…
Just go back to messi!
"Is Messi the GOAT?"
"Ah what, what an incredibly stupid question" – Christopher Hitchens.
Messi Messi Messi🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Goat
Not a bad look. He's been doing this for years that's why I followed him to mls. Messi the GOAT.
Messi wouldn't be able to do this in the top leagues of Europe. Also, no other player in the world could do the same things Messi is doing in the MLS.
Leads almost every offensive statistic in Europe's top 5 leagues…was it a bad look then?
Ok MLS is not the strongest leagea in the world but by far its not the weakest so if you put Messi in Romania league he is going to Dominate and do the same in so many other league's….
THE KING LEO MESSI 👑👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐 FANS FROM INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇦🇷❤️🐐🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑👑❤️🇦🇷❤️🐐🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐👑🐐🐐🐐🐐👑🐐🐐🐐👑🐐🐐🐐👑🐐👑🐐
Barca do a big mistake when force messy to go from Barcelona cos he still could play there with no problem
Messi is Messi until his body wont take it no more. Imagine the previous night, Ronaldo had scored a hatrick and his assists sealed binned the DRAFTS
I'm so sorry for the people who did not watch Barca games 2010-2019. But at least you get Miami-Messi.
Its cringe all the Americans thinking he would still be this relatively effective at Barcelona
Look at Messi's achievement in the World Cup, against the world's best: he carried Argentina to the title, goals, assists, PKs, leadership, everything.
This Messi guy scored 91 goals in a calendar year in La liga. Back then La liga was considered the no 1 ligue in the world. Know the GOAT
Whole MLS is winning by having Messi playing in it. He was already GOAT before going to Miami.
He was doing this for seasons.
Sold-out stadiums.
All eyes on MLS because of Messi.
Social Media growth of everyone.
Don't forget, this guy has been doing the same things to all the best players since he was a child. It's cool for the discussion but cynics have no viable argument to criticize MLS. Criticize the rest of the world who he"s owned equally.
Messi did even worst in LA Liga. Messi made EPL teams look like MLS teams in CL games. Messi dominated in the WC. Messi is going to dominate again in the upcoming copa America. Truth is Messi could still be playing in Europe if he wanted to. He still has a couple more years in him. All I'm saying is…..this is Nothing new!
He won player of the tournament at the World Cup. That might be the best competition there is.
Messi a revolutionat MLS OK
Its called FOOTBALL not soccer
The league is fine if it wasn't someone else would have broken these records. Its just Messi being better than everyone else in the world
Come on man, this is Messi we're talking about. Ask them in Europe about him i think they know better.
How can you turn around this unimaginable success and talk about damage? What sort of a spinning the story is it?
Just accept and be greatful that he decided to humble everybody in the MLS.
Messi brought this last place team to first and CR7 keeps his team in second place 😅
Dude has 8 dors. Won 7 in Europe alone. Most of everything in football history except for goals. That's the only thing. Otherwise everything else important in football is him. Nd most of was in Europe alone.
I promise if Messi goes back to Europe and he’s happy he will do the same things maybe even worse 😢 he was not happy at psg at all and he still won the league twice smh it’s not MLS it’s Messi #goat
❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Stop it Alexi, haters like or not like all BS, just talk about his genius performance.
Messi should have come to MLS at the age of 40. What he is doing is serious
GOAT
Games were way more competitive when Messi was playing in Europe. Messi has ONE world cup. It's not like he was running away in world cup play. If you drop Miami into any top league in Europe they fight to stay in the top half.
We saw his performance in the last World Cup. It's nothing new
Oh, the timeless chorus of the uninformed, singing their favorite tune, "It's just MLS defenders, DUH." If these causals who just started watching football, spared a moment to educate themselves on the maestro that is Messi, they'd realize the folly of their superficial judgments.
Consider this: Messi, in a single season, crafted history with a staggering 37 assists, setting this record against the greatest of La Liga's defenders back in 2011. Let's not gloss over the minor detail of the 53 goals he also netted for Barcelona that same season. Furthermore, with a jaw-dropping tally of 372 assists, he stands unrivaled as football's all-time leading assist provider.
Not to mention, that magical pass that led to Miami's third goal, scored by Rojas, was a deja vu of Messi's wizardry in that World Cup game against the Netherlands which was scored by Molina. So Messi's brilliance isn't diminished by the league he's in; it's illuminated by his unprecedented records.
Are none soccer people beginning to understand the beauty of football because Messi is producing such great play?
🐐
Haters are better “fans “ than fans……their dedication to the team is unmatched……lol
They got better when Gressell was taken off. His replacement scored instantly. But gristle always starts🤦🏻
Goat
Suarez and Messi were washed up in Europe. They wouldn’t even start in those leagues. Unfortunately, the north American League is so poor that it makes them still look like they’re on top. I’m not saying they weren’t great, but now they’re not.
Mike Tyson was the greatest, but now he’s not.
Dozens of people are going to come down on me , but it’s the truth.
